The title of the cartoon is government shut down, it describes the recent talks of government shut down that has been going on in Washington. The artist uses the symbols of the Democrats (Donkey) and the Republicans (Elephant). The cartoon depicts the two parties blaming each other for the government shut down that is believed to be upcoming if the budget crises cannot be resolved. The message is that the two are spending more time blaming one another for the shutdown rather than putting all their effort into fixing it. This cartoon comes from the moderate point of view, favoring neither party and depicting each one equally guilty. The Irony of this cartoon is that they actually are equally guilty. If both parties could simply agree then the shut down most likely would not occur. Also, the two seem to be engaged in a childish blame game of sorts, depicting the two as immature, which could be a reference to the behavior of our esteemed leaders.
